No mention of Gymnastics or other acrobatic sports. But there’s no reason why those athletes could not apply. I’m assuming it will be made up of mostly High School age kids.

Since they called it a “University” I actually thought it was going to be a coaching program. Too bad.
The boarding school is like back to the future stuff. Back when there weren’t gyms on practically every corner in the US, there were gymnastics boarding schools. At least one anyway. I think it was Murial Grossfelds gym. Then you had gyms that weren’t actually boarding schools but they had athletes move their with or without their families and stay with host families.
Maybe the reason they don’t mention gymnastics is because there are already so many training opportunities for gymnasts. They don’t have to move away from home to get the best training.
